I know doggy has done one. I'm sure you can just sand it. Then you'd have to go through this process with the 8 different grits. It's obviously easier on plastic. So.,,,,,who knows anything about this or would be willing to ship me and extra lense they have so I can figure this out???

celica3sgte, the reason those "patterns" are on the lenses is to help disperse the light. If you are going to clear the lense, you will want to go HID or some other form of lighting to help with visibility.

Guys, you need to FIND a difference in HID's and Projectors!

Projectors are Light routing UNITS

HIDs are light source (Bulbs + Balasts)
